A poet with one leg called Ned,
fittingly called the other leg Fred.

 

Feelings come from the gut,

decisions come from the brain. 

 

I love my clothes I can’t resist a

chance to be a fashionista.

    Did the leg fit properly?
    Sometimes the heart is right
    I was a dedicated follower of fashion in the 1970s now in my real 70s I wear what is comfortable.
    Three good ones Michael.

      Sorry to say I love clothes and take pride in looking good even at my age and I never cease to wonder why so many look scruffy (including the young) when there are so many clothing retailers out there.

      Good writes and pic M.
      How are Miss Berles and Co. coping at this time? Is there a ration on syllables? Are they on top of the situation?!

      • Michael Edwards

        They're complaining - the supermarket has run out and they are going to the Grammar School to see if they have any spares. Next posting mave have to be limited to single syllable words - hard times.

        • orchidee

          That would be a challenge - a poem with only one-syllable words. Now for our next poem......

        • dusk arising

          A ploughman who severed one arm
          wore it round his neck iike a charm

          Farmers wife said he was no use
          he suffered so much abuse

          he set up his home where once he would furrow
          lived with three rabbits in a well comfy burrow

          Enjoyed your three gems today.... thought i'd break a few rules and maybe raise a smile above.

          • Michael Edwards

            keep breaking 'em Dusk - anything for a smile is welcome.

          • ANGELA & BRIAN

            BRIAN HERE ~ Good Evening Uncle Mike ~ Last day @ Work today ~ Virus dont inspirus ! Love the Silly Wet ~ she leaves much to the imagination ! Because we have cancelled the oft castigated GCSES & A-Levels ~ I should warn we are now grading all coarse work ~ including couplets !

            GRADINGS (A la GCSE English) I am an infernal examiner !

            1. A fitting *Ode to a Unidexter* ~ Grade B
            2. A good Mantra for Teens ~ Grade B
            3. Excellent use of Rhyme ~ Grade A

            I have used tte old gradings which made more sense !

            Blessings & Peace & Joy
            Love BRIAN & ANGELA ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

            • Michael Edwards

              Love the grading - if I was marking I would put it B A B - down to personal likes and perceptions I guess but at least I got good marks - thanks so very muchly.

            • Fay Slimm.

              Ha - - love your funny couplets - - more please dear fashionista.

            • FredPeyer

              You must have been thinking of me when you wrote that first one!
              The second one is so true, and the third one I wouldn't know wearing slippers and t-shirts all the time.
